Sorting operation is the key link for the distribution center operation process.Purpose of sorting is setting customers' ordered goods correctly and quickly, so with which the efficient and feasible sorting strategy is the prerequisite of sorting efficiency.In this paper, optimization and simulation of sorting strategy are studied, in which sorting efficiency is considered as key factor, EIQ analysis is used for proposing optimized strategy and then optimized strategies are simulated and verified by Flexsim model.
